SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Delbert Edwards and family
made a trip to Basset and return
Saturday afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Baker at
tended the Boone county fair at
Albion a day last week.
Mrs. Bernard Kennedy spent the
day Monday with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Doolittle.
Mrs. Arthur Haufuagle of Lin
coln visited at the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Fannie Riley, this week.
Clifford Bailey is visiting rela
tives in Kansas, in this way cele
brating the closing of a hard sea
son in the hay field.
They say if you haven’t the
price of a meal or two you caft’t
get into California. It is inferred
the tourist with a heavy bank roll
is still welcome.
C. J. Diethlaf and four friends
were up from Sherman county Sun
day to see about putting up the
hay on his land here and were

Word was received last week of
the death at Casper, WTyo., of Harry

| Some of the applicants for driv
er's license under the latest afflic
tion probably who pass the eye
test when examined, after an hour
or two in town Saturday night are
apt to either see double or be stone
blind.
The tang of liberal helpings of
fresh made plum butter with the
.hot cakes is an added breakfast
’table pleasure to the country
dweller these cool September morn
ings which is denied the patron of
the village lunch counter.
With solemn honors but no
funeral pomp a valuable horse
which Bernard Kennedy had been
doing his level best day and night
to save was consigned to its last
resting place, a hole in a blowout,
Sunday afternoon. It was one of
several thruout this section af
flicted with “sleeping sickness.”
Some recover, others die under the
same treatment.
“Uh-hu—this time of year we
have lots of such stuff.” Thus re
sponded a fellow-traveler in a
public conveyance when his at
tention was called to a gorgeous
summer sunset. The daily miracle
t>f colors diffused by the setting
sun meant nothing to him. Sim
ultaneous scenes of quiet splendor
/are spread in the heavens these
I mild September evenings. Was it
^Hawthorne who suggested we are
unduly absorbed with the world?
The evening sky affords oppor
tunity to look away from earth.
As the gold and pink shades of de
parting day fade on the western
horison to the paTe* "grey of the
afterglow, the moon in full orb
1 mes over the dark tree tops in
Hhe east and as night closes over
the vast prairie its gilded disc glows
like burnished brass in a setting of
blue, while one by one the stars
come forth to add their luster to
the scene. Perhaps to the money
mad slave, to the devotee of arti
ficial pleasures, to the glutton and
winebibber “whose god is their
belly ’ the night sky holds no in
terest; nor can the city dweller
flooded with artificial light catch
the full beauty of the scenes I have
mentioned at the risk of being put
down as a sentimental simpleton.

Week of Labor Day
Holiday traffic took a large toll
of lives to boost up the deaths in
Nebraska to twenty for the week

piled by the State Department of
Public Instruction and the Nebras
ka Press association shows this
